A call to arms: Videos wanted!

Heroes of Ancardia!

Whether you regularly perish in the attempts of saving a cute puppy, accidentally bump into shop keepers in a menacing way, get eaten by kobolds or challenge Andor Drakon himself in all your glory, we want the world to see your exploits. Record your playthroughs for us! Ancardia has a dire need for Youtube heroes showing the world the glory of ADOM, because to be honest, there's not much out there yet, and we think it's a shame.

We're looking for true heroes and fallen ones, devious tricksters and brave knights. Record some of your playing and share it with the world. Half an hour to an hour of playtime, if your character survives that long, of course. Show us anything! From creating a new character from scratch and braving your first few encounters, clearing out the bug temple, raiding the thieves' guild, destroying Terinyo in the name of Chaos or robbing a Casino, all is fair game.

Feel free to explain what you're doing, but this is not mandatory.

Both ASCII and Tilemode are perfectly acceptable.

If you submit your uploaded playthrough (Youtube, Vimeo or whatever other platform you can think of) with a link to marketing@adom.de before the first day of June, you'll even be eligible to win something really amazing to put on your wall or dazzle your friends with. We'll be having a look at all the submissions and pick the best three videos.

When submitting your links, please let us know if you're happy with us using your material for trailers and other promotions of ADOM.

In brief:
What: Record yourself playing ADOM for up to an hour, upload it somewhere accessible and send it to marketing@adom.de
When: Before the 1st of June 2018, whatever timezone you are.
Why: Fame, glory, our eternal gratitude and the chance to win something really cool and unique.

We are looking forward to your submissions!

  1. Guess I know what I'll be streaming/uploading to youtube for the foreseeable future.

  2. Did not understand by what criteria you will evaluate and choose the best, the game should be started first or downloaded, what version of the game should be, if the person already has a video but they are more than an hour (you will watch and choose the hour that you like) to example Ultra Ultra Paragon for 9h or speedrun Gate Closer 247% for 7750 turns for 6h20m19s!I personally do not fully understand what to do...

    1. Criteria are pretty clear on the length 30-60 mins, so yeah, 6h+ runs are kinda disqualified, as to what is preferred in the gameplay footage submitted, we'll have to see, though would love some clarification on this point as well

  5. We don't care for the version. And the biggest criteria is: Make it interesting and fun to watch - so it's at least somewhat subjective (like any of these contests).

    1. Oh man, at first I was happy that any version of ADOM is acceptable, but fun-wise I don't think I've done anything extraordinary compared to the more hardened ADOM adventurers out there XD Regardless, do you want to see my video?
